The mississippi Senate.

We are informed by gentleman who
personally knows every individual
member of the State Senate elect, ex-
cept four or five, that after Il due con
sideration of the list, he is satisfied it
will be the ablest body of Senators
which have been called together since
the surrender. Lieut.. Gov. Stands
long experience as the presiding Off
Ger, will enable the Senate to dispatch
business rapidly. 1t was generally
conceded that the lamented Col
Reynolds was one of the most bril-
liant and forcible members who ever
graced the Senate chamber, and we
fear none can be found to fill his va
cancy, yet there are others who will
come as near doing SO as it is possible
Gen. VIII T. Martin, of Natchez, is d
man of well balanced mind, and q
brilliant speaker, and will leave the
impression of his geuius in the law
books when he has an opportunity
Will Yerger, OfGreenville; Joel Walk
er, of Meridian; Houston, of Chicka-
saw; billiard, of Macon; Casey, OF
Rolling Fork; Luse, of YazOo; Boone
of Alcorn; Booth, of Pamela; Ross, OF
Coffeville; Love, of Amite, and Bin
ford of Duck Hill ARE all old Senators,
and have proven themselves, in the
past, to be equal to any emergency
and thoroughly posted, and energetic
workers. While of those newly elect
ed, many of them have been members
of the lower house, and are expe-
rienced in legislative matters.
Among the new members we notice
the names of Cutrer, of CahOma; Me-
Donald, of Benton; Burdine, of Mon
roe; Wilson, of Holmes; Groves, of
Leake; Cameron, of Madison; Will
hanson, of Kinds; Woods, of Quitman;
Ford of Marion; Nelson, of LOwndes,-
all of brilliant minds and full of pa
triOtic zeal for the welfare of the
State. In fact, there is not name on
the whole list but would do credit
to any State in the Union.
A wide awake and patriotic Senate
is more important to the people than
the governor and lower house COM
bined, because it can check improper
legislation of the lower house and re-
fuse to confirm improper appoint
ments.-GuF Coast Progress.

"LOrd, Make uS Thankful for
What We Are About
to Receive"

Embelished with the Lowry
Island steal, the East Mississippi
Insane Asylum extravaganza and
misrepresentation of State funds. the
Penitentiary robbery and abuse of
convicts, aud the State debt increased
over 5000, 900 and growing larger and
larger every day, the six years ad-
ministration of Lowry isn't a pleasant
thing to contemplate, and the fulsome
and gushy resolutions endorsing the
Governor and his administration dur
ing his late speech-making tour re-
mind us of an anecdOte.
4 countryman and his family were
driving complacently along in cart
Gown rugged mountain side, when
suddenly his sleepy old "critter' got
into a yellow jackets nest and tore of
down the steep and dangerous noun
tain way at regular break-neck speed.
At first Rusticus endeavOred with all
his might to check the headlong
career of his Infatuated animal, but in
vain, and realizing that it was an
emergency in which something ex-
traordinary must be done, he be-
thought himself of prayer. Being a
Goddess sort of chap and frightened
too, he couldn't remember anything
but the beginning of the blessing his
father used to ask when he was boy
and commanding all the family to
bow, while the old horse dashed
ahead with increasing speed and
recklessness, he exclaimed, Lord
make us thankful for what we are
about to receiver
While the State debt is piling up
and many other things going wrong,
let all Mississippi, with the happy
minded resolutionists, exclaim,
"Lowryism is great and good, and we
are to have two Years more of it );
Lord, make us thankful for what
we are about to receive"

Opposed to Its Repeal.

This paper regrets the necessity Of
singing itseff against the whole press
except the level-headed Shubuta Mes
senger, and saying that the present
law in relation to election tickets
must not be repealed.-New Mississjp-
plan.
You will not have to sling yourself
against the LEADER on that question.
We see no sufficient reason for tinker
ing with the present ballot
law, especially to the extent
of repeating it altogether, as
some of our exchanges adv oc ate
The law was passed by the Democratic
party on its accession to power in the
seventies. and has served a good pur-
pose ever since by the difficulties il
has placed in the way Of corrupt
men massing the negro vote into one
solid phalanx against the property and
intelligence Of the State. Can it be
that thhse who now advocate the
repeal of the law have so soon forgot
ten the days when the carpet-baggers
and a few corrupt negro leaders could
corral their black dupes around the
polls like cattle and with no other adj
vice than that they must vote ticket
of Il given color with rooster cut,
a spread eagle. or some other device
at the head (as the case might bC),
poll them en- mdssc against the
Democratic party' The regulation
ballot put stop to all this, and it
hasn't been successfully worked since.
The plea that country publishers
can print n legal ballot under the
present Law is puerile. and should be
resented by every intelligent country
publisher, even though he has nothing
to cut tickets with but knife.

4 Very Hopeful View.

The papers and lawyers all over the
district so ably presided over by
Chancellor Peyton, are working as
hard as beavers to secure his appoint
ment. In our opinion they are vast
ing a good deal of time and ink, for
there never was ghost of probable
ity of this honorable gentleman being
succeeded by any one but himself.
Gov. Lowry as fully recognizes his
merits as any of us, and the Governor
has amply demonstrated by his APP
pointment of Judicial officers hereto
fore that he is a connisseur in the
matter of material for the BENCH
aberdeen Examiner.

The following paragraph from the State

factory enterprise:
We learn that the Mississippi Mills at
Wessou, in view of their inability to keep

for their popular goods, contemplate AZ
an early date. to build an addition 10
their Mills, so as to put in $50 additional
looms and other machinery. We are sIaGt
to hear of this; it is farther evidence Oh
the need of more cotton Mills in the S0nth
to supply the demand for the superior
goods being generally made at our sou'h-
ern Mills.

1t is both amusing aud sad to see
two or three men in Lincoln county
trying to pcrvert the spirit and object
of a great and noble organization and
make that organization an engine for
the qualification of their own personal
malice and ill-will toward the Editor
of this paper; and as soon as the ami

How Strange.


Sword and Shield, quotes Judge
Chrisman as saying that prohibition
saved Lincoln county $1O0.000 in
money the first year of its trial. We
could not pretend to question any
thing Judge Chrisman might say, but
how strange that few days after thi,
letter was published the great pro.
hibition county of. Lincoln, in which
the Judge presides, elected an anti
prOhibitiOnist to the Legislature. over
u very popular prohibitionist, who
was the regular Democratic nominee
This would indicate that the people
had got tired of prohibition, or that
they didn't want to save one hundred
thousand dollars per year.-Brdndor
Republican.
And Rankin county, the home al
Col. Frantzy and Gov. Lowry, elect.
ed negro Republican over several
competent and clever white Demo.
cratic candidates for Representative
therefore according to the Republic
cans argrlmenD, this would indicate
that the people over there have either
grown tired ofDemocracy, or that they
don't care anything about the sort
that is represented by Col. Frantzy
and the Governor. This is just az
fair and just as truthful, rs to say
that Dcason was elected because tbs
people of Lincoln county are tired OF
Prohibition. The real truth is, the Negro
was elected in Rankin county by the
negro vote because the Democratsm made
no nominations, and the Democratic
strength was divided; and Deasor
was elected in Lincoln because the
worst and most ignorant element in
the county united on him, while the
better element was devided among
the other candidates. If any body
wants to insist that Dcason'S election
means an anti Prohibition victory ant
a change of public sentiment on the
liquor question, we will simply poin
to the fact that the aggregate vote re.
ceived by Sessions, Maxwell ant
HendersOn-all three avowed Pro
hibitiOnists-was LOSS; while the
aggregate vote of Deason and Brister
avowed ants, was only 1916. 1t is NJ
less true, however, that the lines OF
Prohibition and AUTHORIZATION were
mot nloCa1,- .lro,rn on1 ,,nrSnnS ,-otaf
for all the candidates without refer
ence to their standing on the liquor
to personally favor the liquor traffic
also declared in favor of sustaining
the present Local option law; OF
this point being in direct agrcemen
with the two independent Prohibition
candidates and the Democrat,
nominee.
We are reminded by the Repubh
cans comment that two years age
when Watts was elected, that tina
paper made haste to announce tina
nee on the Prohibition issue which, i
said, was an evidence that the peopl,
of Lincoln were opposed to Probibi
ton; whereas, the fact was, there wa
no Democratic nominee that year, anC
the candidate Watts beat was no
then an avowed PrOhibitionist Will,
the people showed the very hex
year that they rere in favor of Pro
hibition by a majority of 256 votes
This, however, is about as near a
Col. Frantzy ever gets to the truth il
an argument against Prohibition.

The ball which was "resting on the
ulner nerve" in Col. Hamilton's arm,
and which he swore before Judge
Cooper was giving him "great and
constant pain" and which his physi-
clans further swore could not be re-
moved in the Jail without great risk
and danger to his life, has been remOr-
ed and the operation was performed
in the Kinds county Jail, too. What
is still more singular, there seems no
probability of the Coloners dying from
the effects either.

The WessOn ArgOsy tells of Il sad
story of a young man named Holland,
alias Courtney, who came to WessOn
a few weeks ago, and after about six
weeks acquaintance, married Miss
Jennie Moore, loyable young lady of
that place. About two weeks after
the marriage it was discovered that
Holland had committed forgery in
Columbus, Ga, for which he had been
sentenced to seven years in the
penitentiary, and made his escape.
The Argosy concludes the story thus /:
Mr.. Holland has been lying in Jail
at Hazlehurst since his arrest here.
His wife went up yesterday evening
and was remarked to him under his
true name, William Courtney. Just
after the marriage Dep. Sheriff, John
st. Clair, from Columbus, Ca, arrived
with requisition from Gov. Gordon,
and is to depart tonight with Court
ney for Georgia, where he is to serve
out his seven years in the penitentiary,
and then, perhaps, have to answer for
the assault and robbery committed
when making his escape from Jail.
This should be solemn warning to
young ladies against marrying
strangers on short acquaintance, and
to parents and guardians who permit
such thing.
